The number of illegal immigrants in Missouri may be far more than what state officials believed.
During a meeting in Kansas City last week, a commission appointed by House Speaker Rod Jetton and headed by Rep. Ed Emery, R-Lamar, heard the Kansas City police chief estimate there were 60,000 illegal immigrants in that city alone.
That total shocked Emery, according to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch article, because his panel was going under the assumption that there were approximately 35,000 in the entire state.
As columnist Jo Mannies points out, immigration is not only being addressed by Emery's panel, but is also the major issue in the senatorial campaign between incumbent Jim Talent and State Auditor Claire McCaskill.

The real number is more than 20 million and they are not going anywhere. Think about this Bush lovers...we are about to become part of the "North American Union" and that interstate that will take the place of HWY 71 will run from Mexico to Canada with no border check.
Bush is not enforcing immigration policy because soon (within a decade or so) it will no longer be an issue.
Remember his father talked about the New World Order on 9/11/1991 in a speech. Think for yourself, there is an "African Union" and "European Union" and soon to be "North American Union". It's the compartmentalization of the earth.
Sorry, but this immigration debate is nothing more than an election year ploy. Just like social security reform was....how did that reform turn out anyway?
I am in Germany where our immigration problem is as worse or worse than yours. If you think politicians are simply playing with you over this issue you are in the twighlight zone. Here it is real and rioting has broken out over it. Our borders are not secure. In America you are at least working and debating over what to do. Here we only riot as our governments are too weak andthe people are too divided.
I found you through a search engine while researching this very issue for my weekly paper.
